CA is by far the best, strongest, quickest and easiest method of building.
I beg to differ. Quickest, probably. Easiest, ever tried to sand that stuff? Strongest, there are stronger. Best........well, the most popular maybe.

It's been mentioned many times on this thread, if you can handle the fumes.

Check out Super 'Phatic, it's lighter, stronger, easier to sand, than CA's. It won't bond to your skin, AND the best part is there are NO fumes and vapours to attack your eyes, nose or sinuses. The only real downside, if you consider it a downside is, it takes 20 minutes to set up, 2 hours to reach full strength. It's a yellow carpenters glue treated to be thinner, so it will wick into wood, plastic & foam and cure much faster than regular wood glues.

Use what works for you, and if CA is what you like then great! But if you don't like the fumes from CA, try a bottle of Super 'Phatic you won't be disappointed.

You can get it at Hobby Lobby in the US or www.ontarioadhesives.ca in Canada. Elsewhere, check with the manufacturer's website at: www.deluxematerials.com/
